    Today was our much anticipated palm leaf basket weaving course in Valle Gran Rey and it didn’t disappoint. Run by the lovely Zdenka, a Czech now living a sustainable life on this lovely island, she took our wee group on a walk during which she told us about the different plants we were seeing and then we got down to the main activity of the day - basket weaving. Once we’d made the base of our baskets we stopped for a fab lunch made mainly from her own produce and then we wove the rest of our baskets. Considering we all started the same way, it’s amazing to see all the completely different finished baskets.

    We spent a day with Zdenka on a basket making workshop using brooms from the local Gomeran palm trees. Zdenka told us about the trees and then we collected brooms for making the baskets. Looking at one of Zdenka's amazing baskets I couldn't believe that we could make such a thing in one day but Zdenka is very clear with her instructions and excellent demonstrations that we all went home with a completed basket. A great day and highly recommended.

    Me ha encantado este curso. Lo hice con unos vecinos que hablan español. Mi español es muy flojo, pero no fue un problema porque Zdenka habla inglés y español con fluidez. Me encantó poder llevarme a casa una cesta funcional acabada que yo misma había hecho. Y ahora tengo el conocimiento reunir y preparar los materiales necesarios con el fin de hacer uno por mi cuenta en el futuro. Zdenka es una experta en su oficio y una maestra paciente.
